15 Best Players Ever Dumped by the Marlins
On Tuesday, the Miami Marlins franchise sunk to a new all-time low when they traded every single player earning any kind of money to the Toronto Blue Jays for a handful of prospects, a homophobic defensive wizard, and…um…well, that’s it. Of course, fans of the Marlins had grown used to the team’s so-called “fire-sales,” and [...]

This Day In Sports History (October 25th) — Florida Marlins
It was on this day in 2003 that the Florida Marlins and New York Yankees played Game Six of the World Series.

Check Out The Marlins New Home Run Structure (GIF)
After spending the last 19 years playing in Sun Life Stadium, the Florida Marlins will finally be moving into a ballpark that is intended for baseball games, rather than football games. Sun Life Stadium has drawn the ire of many MLB players over the year’s but the opening of Miami Ballpark for the 2012 MLB [...]

Marlins’ Pitchers Trap Jose Ceda In The Bullpen Bathroom (Video)
When the Florida Marlins’ pitchers decided to trap rookie pitcher Jose Ceda in the visiting bullpen’s bathroom at Citizens Bank Park last night, they probably thought that they had just executed one of the greatest prank in the history of baseball pranks. What they failed to realize, however, was that the joke was on them. [...]

The Marlins’ Logan Morrison Was Attacked By A Praying Mantis Last Night (Video)
Nothing was going to throw the Florida Marlins batters off their game last night. Not Washington Nationals starter Ryan Zimmerman. Not the 24,650 fans in attendance at Nationals Park. And certainly not a praying mantis. The latter made its way into the Marlins dugout in the top of the ninth inning, but even an attack [...]

Marlins Catcher Hits Shane Victorino In The Head With A Throw At Point Blank Range (Video)
Major League batters may often be concerned about getting hit in the head by a ball being thrown from the pitcher to the catcher, but few of them ever think about taking a shot in the head when the ball is moving in the opposite direction. The Philadelphia Phillies’ Shane Victorino certainly didn’t expect to [...]

Philly Phanatic Grinds It Out With A Heffer (Video)
Sure, the Philly Phanatic might be fat, green and hairy, but he can do better than this, can’t he? After all, the thing(?) is an icon in Philadelphia. You would think it could get all the big-chested blondes it wanted. I guess it only prefers those that look similar to its own kind. I wonder [...]

Father Drops Daughter While Catching A Foul Ball (Video)
For all the times we have witnessed a father in the stands catch a foul ball while holding their child in their arms, you would think we would see at least one of them lose their grip and send the people at Child Protective Services into a frenzy. This father did just that over the [...]

The Stat Line Of The Night — 5/29/11 — Clayton Kershaw
Last night the Los Angeles Dodgers sent their ace, Clayton Kershaw, to the mound in an attempt to salvage only their second series win in the month of May. They had already split the first two games of their three-game set with the Florida Marlins, and a solid outing from Kershaw ensured that they would [...]

There Was A Streaker At The Marlins Game Last Night (Video)
There isn’t much to get excited about when the Florida Marlins and the Chicago Cubs meet up these days. But don’t tell that to this fan, who got a little too excited during last night’s game at Sun Life Stadium, to say the least. According to the commentators, he was performing backflips in the outfield [...]

9 Professional Sports Teams That Should Pack Up and Move
There’s nothing worse than seeing a historic sports franchise pack up and move to another city. For fans, the experience is similar to watching a loved one pass away, or in some cases, going through a bitter divorce. But the fact of the matter is that money talks and B.S. walks. Besides, not all franchises [...]

Nyjer Morgan Sparks Massive Brawl Between Nats And Marlins (Video)
Last night must have been fight night in the U.S.A. First there was the battle between Oregon’s Mercedes Walters and Oklahoma States Kyndall Treadwell in NCAA soccer action. Then there was the reported riff between the 49ers Michael Crabtree and Vernon Davis. And now this, which took place during a game between the Washington Nationals [...]

9 Sports Jerseys You’ll Probably Find at the Thrift Store
Sports jerseys are a funny thing. Those who choose to buy them shell out $200+ for an authentic jersey of their favorite player and wear it all over town with intense pride. Then, when the player leaves town, changes his number or doesn’t pan out they cast it aside like a used condom. They literally [...]

Another MLB Ump Blows Call. Time For Instant Replay Yet? (Video)
If Jim Joyce’s blown call during Armando Galarraga’s “almost perfect game” wasn’t enough to get MLB Commissioner Bud Selig to change his mind about instant replay in baseball, perhaps this blown call from last night’s game between the Florida Marlins and the Philadelphia Phillies will be. After blowing a two-run lead in the top of [...]

The Stat Line of the Night — 5/18/10 — Josh Johnson
There have been a lot of distractions surrounding the Marlins lately, but that hasn’t seemed to affect their ability to win. With Hanley Ramirez benched due to “lack of effort”, Florida was able to pull off the win against the Arizona Diamondbacks with some help from their starting pitcher Josh Johnson. Although All-Star Hanley’s benching [...]
